- [Instructor] Now that we've generated a line…from each seat to every power outlet in the room,…it's time to measure the length of those lines…and determine whether the shortest line in each group…is greater than eight feet,…which is the average length of a laptop power cord.…To measure the length of a line,…let's start in the Geometry section of the node library.…If you remember from the Dynamo Essential Training course,…the line data type falls…under the broader umbrella of curves.…The curve section of the library has several nodes…for querying data about lines and curves.…We'll want to drop in a Length node,…which measures the length of each line…that we feed as an input.…

When I connect our list of lines to the Curve Length node,…you'll notice in the node preview…that the structure of the nested list remains intact.…We fed the length node 25 lists,…each having eight items,…and our output is 25 lists,…each having eight items.…This is going to work to our advantage in the next step…where we need to find the smallest number…

Dynamo allows Revit users to build custom tools to solve their problems in smarter, faster ways. This course teaches you how to apply basic visual programming concepts to architectural design in Revit, including automating various design, documentation, analysis, and BIM management tasks. Learn how to use Dynamo for numbering rooms, calculating occupant loads, evaluating the efficiency of a room's furniture layout, verifying adherence to building code, and dimensioning rooms. Each chapter features start-to-finish examples of Dynamo in action, solving and automating the kind of tasks architects face every day.
